Pandora Radio
The impact of modern technology on musical tastes and likes is quite profound. I just realized that Pandora Internet Radio has been the single most influential game changer for how I listen to music.

Infidel

I crack me up
So what's the deal? I was talking with some colleagues and this subject came up. One person was talking about how another person laughs at his own jokes. They said it in a condescending, insulting way, as though it was this bad thing that people just don't do. One shouldn't laugh at their own jokes? I was very confused but kept my mouth shut, as ( Read more... )
